December 19, 2018, Prescott-
I get tired of the arrogance of the high and mighty.
This makes me look to simple and joyful things,
as a diversion.
Spinach has always been one of my favourite foods.
I will not offer recipes and cooking instructions,
but spinach goes well with:
Feta cheese, especially when baked for 20 minutes,
in a steel or aluminum dish;
Peppers and onions, in a skillet;
Filleted fish, wrapped inside the greenery;
Ground beef, lamb, bison or elk, green onions, sweet peppers,
in a soup, prepared in a crock pot;
As a layer, in a five layer lasagna;
Diced and combined with ricotta,
as a manicotti stuffing.
In summer, spinach is a fine staple,
in any hot weather salad.
Spinach: Not just for Popeye, anymore!
1 pkg chopped spinach, thawed & dried + 1 C sour cream + cracker crumb topping — mixed & baked till hot — makes a great substitute for creamed spinach!

Oops — I forgot! I also used to saute some mushrooms and throw them into the mix — can no longer eat mushrooms, and it’s good either way!

I am still able to eat mushrooms, and am fond of them, also.

I love mushrooms, but they are a trigger food for “what ails me!”

We use spinach in lots of things – stirred into soups, added to pasts sauces, baked in quiche… it is all good except my mother’s version (canned – plopped in a sauce pan and doused with vinegar) which is why I hated spinach until I discovered fresh spinach in college!

I ate my share of canned spinach, as a child. My mother rinsed the salt off and never used vinegar. I ate it, because I wanted to have green vegetables in my diet. As an adult, I’ve stuck with fresh greens.

Thank you for the options with spinach, I need a change form broccoli and kale.
